Portmaster Intro #2: Setup / First Use / Quick Start

[@GabrielFrisan]

love it....the best firewall i ever see..great job guys!

[@SafingIO]

Thank you!

[@flirtypie]

I think, every modern system should come with a great firewall and some filterlists by default.

[@SafingIO]

I guess filter-lists won't be something MS will include any time soon. 😅

[@flirtypie]

@@SafingIO yeah haha i guess not

I am running a VPN client no problem (windows 10), but once I install PortMaster - my VPN is unable to connect to any of its servers ... DNS error issues. How can I fix this issue?

[@hypnocodes]

Turn on the subtitles for the video!

[@SafingIO]

I did look into it, and the option to auto create is not there. I am sorry for your inconvenience.

[@J-Ernie]

Hello, when installed will this disable Windows Defender automatically?

[@SafingIO]

It won’t. Defender can and should be running next to Portmaster. It focuses on different aspects of security and does not interfere with Portmaster.

[@J-Ernie]

@@SafingIO Ok, Thank you.

[@doudoud82]

does portmaster support DNSSEC also? when I use dig to check the DNS response it doesn't have the DNSSEC response additional fields?

[@SafingIO]

it does not we support dot and doh. What need would DNSSEC fulfill for you that dot or doh don't do?

[@doudoud82]

@@SafingIO I was just curious to know if it is supported since DNSSEC is a way to authenticate the DNS server's responses.

[@SafingIO]

If you add the ip address and the verify label then Portmaster does check if the server is correct. and of course tls as well as https do make sure the response has not been tempered with.

after i installportmaster i dont have internet say Portmaster did not detect any network connectivity.

[@SafingIO]

then you probably have some compatibility issue. typically its some VPN or AV (often with VPN) you can look into the debug info for more details,. also the wiki has some great resources to help you through this.

[@Roland_Volpahart]

Greetings ! Is there any way to install portmaster on coreelec ?

[@SafingIO]

I have no experience with coreelec, and it is not officially supported, you can always try though :D

[@lwa.dev74]

thank you subs to the channel :-)

[@MrSpaz12]

I use free Cox wifi (Technitium to change MAC address) and with Portmaster turned on I can't access the registration page. I can turn it off, get connected and restart Portmaster and it's fine from then on. I'd like to configure it so that it allows the registration page to load but can't figure out how to. Suggestions?

[@SafingIO]

take a look into this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIDFe3mwd8aYjZY This might help

[@ImApringle]

Can’t use it. The app gives me blue screen of death

[@blastingweevil2968]

tried using it and it instatly broke my nordVPN i just did the quick setup without removing or adding ANY options and it totally refused to let nord start and blocked all my internet acess untill i uninstalled it and as if by magic everything was back to normal.

[@SafingIO]

Yes a some VPN software works and some does not. You can check here for software compatibility: wiki.safing.io/en/Portmaster/App/Compatibility
